THanks Chimp... the fragmentation is here and now... the idea is to remove that.
Unison are mainly LA staff
PCS are mainly in English Heritage
PROSPECT and UNITE can represent employees (including transients) you choose... if you don't like one (for whatever reason... join the other...
The idea mooted is that ALL unions are able to support each other... even as you move about... so you can be in a PROSPECT rep unit, be in UNITE and still get representation or visa versa.
People from the start said it would divide the vote... well... it already is divided... fragmented... etc... so waht about the cunning plan of uniting ... hmmmm good idea...
Adding all the union members together creates a starting point...
